Notes

COLT 45 CLONE...THIS IS THE OLD SCHOOL VERSION...THE WAY THEY USED TO MAKE IT WITH REAL CORN.. IT HAD MORE FLAVOR BACK THEN..NOW THEY USE CORN SYRUP INSTEAD I THINK THEY CHANGED TO CORN SYRUP IN THE MID 2000S...I FERMENT IN PRIMARY ONLY... YOU CAN DO SECONDARY BEFORE COLD CRASH IF YOU WISH YOU CAN USE FLAKED CORN, OR MAKE CEREAL MASH WITH CORN GRITS AND COOK FOR 25 MIN, ADD TO MAIN MASH..BOIL FOR 65 MIN... COOL..ADD YEAST.. FERMENT AT 60 UNTIL FERMENTATION SLOWS.ABOUT A WEEK OR SO...
INCREASE TEMPERATURE TO 68 AND HOLD UNTIL FINISHED.. COLD CRASH FOR 1 WEEK AT 37...BOTTLE AND STORE AT 68 TO 72 FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS...LAGER BOTTLES FOR 1 WEEK...POP ONE OPEN...ENJOY...THIS IS KILLER...
